Michel De Rasbenek

Once a Cathloic priest my life spiralled out of control at the hands of the official papal legate, the Inquisitor, Arnaud Amalric. The year was 1209 and across the breadth of my beautiful France, community was turning against community. The black death of suspicion seeped into every cranny of our so-called civilised life until there was nothing left but fear, hatred, and revulsion. At the hand of a noble Crusader and his rampaging army christian souls were murdered by christian blades, and holy torches of fire. It was then, in a moment that some would call insanity, but I, for the greater power that was bestowed upon me, called clarity, that I committed a sin so heinous that even Christ himself was unlikely ever to grant me absolution. And so began my great journey into hell - into the darkness of my own creation, there to find neither comfort in the solace of others, nor the respite to accept what I had become. I was in turmoil, and so I remained for five hundred years....and where I remain to this day.

First Steps Towards Darkness.......

Today was the first day of progress - up to now mainly discussions and more discussions about how to confront this quite huge challenge. We are not the great Steve Niles, but utter novices feeling our way for the first time with a story we firmly believe has all the makings of a great graphic novel - and more.

Shot List # 1 & 2 have been processed and are now undergoing the first sketch pass for content. Thereafter sketches revised, will become slightly more detailed before undergoing ' pen&ink' treatment. At this stage boards will be collated for the rough cut edit stage once the first novel (of two) is completed. Only once the edit is approved will those boards become the full bloodied colour versions, thereafter to be lettered for final approval.

It's an exciting time.
